What really grinds me about the hurricane article is the self-absorbed arrogance of the writer. It demonstrates the stunning disconnect between the leftist media and the real world. They have the audacity to write this article about a TV crew being gouged while sucking up scarce resources (hotel space, food, water, gasoline) so the TV crew can document the misery of the locals which the TV crew will use, not to alleviate the misery, but to increase ratings which will enable the TV station to sell more advertising at higher prices and thereby earn a larger profit. If anybody is engaging in exploitation, it’s the media.

The TV crew should be charged a 1000% markup, or more. It’s a public service to do so. A natural disaster is a limited opportunity to charge high prices to outsiders who are carpet-bagging their way into the region. It’s an opportunity to take from the vultures to support the local economy that is in turmoil. They should be happy to pay for a better Houston.

Please re-take an Econ 101 class, because you obviously didn’t get it the first time around. Pay particular attention to the section on “Supply and Demand”. Then, remember that the next time a blizzard is coming and all the toilet paper is gone, because it was priced so low that the guy in front of you bought it all.

I believe “arguements” is a British English variant of the word spelling. I’ve been known to misspell words fairly often, either by mistake or errant keystroke. At the end of the day what the heck difference does it really make?

As a Canadian who has moved to the United States, I feel qualified to comment. Unlike Americans, Canadians are under no illusions about where they came from, what was done to the natives to establish the country, and the lack of any inherent superiority for their country over all of the rest. Canadians can be tribal with their own immigrant group, but there are so many of those groups that it is very hard to stand and say, “My group are the real Canadians”. If a little inter-regional resentment in a continent-sized country is the worst of your problems, you’re doing pretty well.

trolling, trolling, trolling… And no arguement to the dissing of the correct spelling of arguement. I see you did not pass the comprehension test in canadeh either. Keep digging snowflake troll, keep digging.
